Field notes
Short pieces from walks and sittings: vacancy on the Boulevard in shoulder season, rent rolls versus memory, cadastral area, and figures for a Georgian bank.
These notes are written after sittings or walks. They are not advice to buy or sell a named building. Unit numbers and family names are left out.
Figures a Georgian bank will actually look at
Refinance conversations fail less on design than on mixed currencies, undated asking prices, and occupancy that cannot be tied to a lease. What we put on A3 for that meeting.
Reading vacancy on the Boulevard in shoulder season
Empty eighth-floor studios in November are not the same fact as an empty shop on the same stair in July. How we mark both on a board without pretending they share a cause.
What a rent roll shows that memory does not
Sunday lunch remembers who pays. The spreadsheet remembers the unit number, the start date, and the cousin who never signed. We draw the second version.
A New Boulevard studio beside an Old Town mixed-use floor
Putting two very different keys on one board is the usual family request. The sheet has to keep their calendars and their stairs separate or the comparison becomes a quarrel.
Cadastral metres and the metres people actually live in
Adjara apartments often carry two areas. Boards that mix them make a family think a studio has grown. We keep cadastral figures in a footnote and draw rooms as rooms.
